Nearly 100 NSW service stations face fines over misleading petrol prices amid fuel shortage crackdown

Venezuela
The Venezuelan crisis represents one of the most severe modern economic and political collapses outside of active warfare, triggering a profound humanitarian emergency and the largest mass displacement in Western Hemisphere history. Stemming from prolonged institutional decay, hyperinflation, and contested electoral cycles, the crisis has destabilized the broader Latin American region as millions of citizens flee across borders.

Reporting from within remains highly restricted, making independent verification of developments challenging. The situation evolves alongside shifting geopolitical alignments and fluctuating global energy markets.
